In case of addiction it is not in human hand. But can change their mind set to get away from that for some time instead of being too addictive for facebook/twitter/whatever things.
As I have an habit to check my daily Facebook activity but it does not mean that I am addicted to facebook. this how I have control myself on being addict.

I LIKE using face book ,checked out twitter, couldn't see the point of it, got rid of it.
So how was/is your experience with F/B and Twitter?

YES...and one of the best way is Sports... physical, metal...any sports...and you can see a change in you even if you are drug addict,,however exercise won,t help because it is done alone..if you do it in group it will help too.
